I think a lot about how relationship maps can drive design and play. Here's a map for a six-character game that includes lines of affinity and also primary motivations proximal to characters. Everyone but the king has at least one one-sided relationship. Everyone knows exactly what to do.

"So, you are making a game where the characters are thieves in a fantasy world? But isn't there already Blades for this?" The difference is between a heist game and a stealth game. I think (I hope?).

Incredibile thread! #ttrpg

The Blades in the Dark Cutter's Deck is available as Print on Demand at DTRPG! It's a full 52-card poker deck with unique Blades-themed suits. legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/5428...

"Sometimes, what matters is the rain that's falling on your helmet just before battle ... and dripping into the puddle next. So, why not roll for that?” Rascal spoke with @epidiah.bsky.social about the glum/jovial dual nature of pulp fantasy and the new edition of Swords Without Master.

The Quiet Year is now back in stock no matter where you live! The Quiet Year is an award-winning map-making game about building community after the collapse. It comes in a little box with everything you need to play. And it's back in stock in the US! store.buriedwithoutceremony.com/products/the...

Hey @darringtonpress.bsky.social it's time to restock Daggerheart dice in your EU shop and grab my money! #trrpg #Daggerheart

Hey @spenserstarke.bsky.social can I pick your brain for a silly matter? In Daggerheart, as the GM, in case an adversary has 2 or more applicable experiences do you need to spend 1 fear to apply each one of them or 1 fear allows the GM to apply any number or applicable adversary experience?

It's happening! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

2025 and 2026 already have something in common: I love #ttrpgs and I'll still love them next year! 😁 If you share the feeling, re-quote and tell us the three games that affected your 2025 the most. Here's mine: 1. Apocalypse World 2. City of Mist 3. Burning Wheel

10 TTRPGS I want to play/run in 2026 - Apocalypse World Burned Over - Burning Wheel - Daggerheart - Blades in the Dark - Urban Shadows 2e - Twilight 2000 - Rebel Crown - City of Mist - Traveller - Vampire the Masquerade V5

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's). I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

Hold on, hold on, hold on! #Bloodstone is an amazing game. Now it has the only possible thing that was missing: a freaking awesome map of Heliwyr. Are you ready for the hunt? I most definetly am! #ttrpg #FitD

It's winter sales on @itch.io . This year, I want to celebrate the third anniversary of Bloodstone's launch, with version 1.4: * An improved version with better colors, fonts, and readability. And some rules clarification. * A whole new city map, with some additional rules and new challenges.

30 hours left for Apocalypse World: Burned Over on @kickstarter.com. Would love to see it hit 200k! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

38 HOURS remaining! Thank you and let's go! #pbta #AW3rd #ttrpgs www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Describe #BurningWheel in one word! (And no, the idea is not mine, see below) #ttrpg

My friends! The Apocalypse World 3rd Ed kickstarter ends on Friday night. We launched with a Q&A on Reddit and I think we'd like to wrap up with a Q&A here. Ask me anything! Ask @megueyb.bsky.social anything too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Sigh, I want the 180k stretch goal Please please please

This is for you @mimir9.bsky.social and for your patience 😂❤️

I think I've been hit by a serious burning wheel sickness and now I cannot stop thinking about it #ttrpg Btw: don't hack the game. No need really 😑

Look at this ridiculously amazing deal on Classic Traveller PDFs! 61 books for $16 www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/tr...

2 weeks until the end of the campaign and here's our last(?) stretch goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

Final Stretch Goal revealed! 14 days to go! Wanna be part of it? www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Vincent is threatening to write a beginners guid to designing a game the Powered by the Apocalypse way and I'll be honest, I kind of need y'all to step up so that goodness can come into the world. Just, like, 10.000 dollars more to go.

Let's make this happen guys! Please please please! #ttrpg

Jesus, I asked Vincent Baker if they were shipping in Italy and he even talked about it here. I wanna die... 😂

#ttrpg I finally had the chance of listening to this and, oh boy, you have no idea how much good stuff is in it. Laugh, writing tips, interesting history and perspectives. You guys are just awesome and together? No words :) @johnharper.bsky.social @megueyb.bsky.social @lumpley.bsky.social

A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance. @MasayukiTsuda2 #globalmuseum #books #travel #19thcentury

Introduce yourself in five #ttrpg classes 1. Ventrue (vampire the masquerade) 2. Face (Blades in the Dark) 3. Gunlugger (Apocalypse World) 4. Professional (Monster of the Week) 5. Legacy (Masks)

Just to say that this guy, @thedicemechanic.bsky.social, is the best. He knows a lot of games, he's always nice, he's fun, he's always ready to give suggestions and lend a hand! Go Phil! You are the best! #ttrpg

Hey #ttrpg artists! Are there easy tools to help someone without much skill to create simple but nice world maps? Idk, stuff where you lay down trees and mountains and rivers more easily than what you incredible people are able to

I always wanted to design a custom card deck, so this was a lot of fun. (Also, the quality of the POD cards is surprisingly good!)

#BurningWheel is by far the best game to take advantage of pre-generated characters! If you love games that start with a bang and character selection-like vibes without giving away the pleasure of owning a character top to bottom, BW is the #ttrpg for you!

@darringtonpress.bsky.social guys, you need to put your Daggerheart dice back in stores by Xmas. We/want/them

holy HECK I cannot wait to brag about the amazing artists we have joining us for Swords Without Master, folks, goodness GRACIOUS I am HYPED! UP! FOR! SWORDS! *cough* ...thus it behooves me to implore you to stay tuned here for all the news: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

This is a thread by the way. Sorry folks. Decided to spend 5 minutes on this lol #ttrpg

Can I say that the"escape a situation" move in Urban Shadows 2e is just... Bad? I guess I can as I have basically no followers hence my opinions don't matter 😂 #ttrpg

In 2016, the Apocalypse World 2nd Ed campaign ended at $149,681. We'd like to beat that! At $149,682, we'll get with the original authors and update three classic playbooks: • The Faceless by Bret Gillan • The News by Josh Savoie • The Show by Elliot Baker

Must remember to link to this here Kickstarter landing page so folks can follow if they desire: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw... And remember to use my powers of mesmerism to instill within their hearts just such a desire.

A friendly reminder to my friends and colleagues; the kickstarter campaign for Apocalypse World: Burned Over is going strong and now is a good chance to show your support to @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

I just backed Apocalypse World: Burned Over on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... And yes, it's late, but my wife and I both thought the other did it 🤣

Hey #ttrpg people. Did it ever happen to you to try out a game and throw it away as absolutely not for you and find out, not so long after, to absolutely love it? I mean, what the hell? I love this hobby U_U

I am so happy I gave #BurningWheel a second chance 😊

Today on Dice Exploder I talk with @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social about Apocalypse World 3e. We took the 2e Brainer playbook and broke down every change as it became the 3e Brain-Picker. It's fascinating to me how AW from the jump has been designed around the Baker's kids.

First, this interview was great fun, and second, #AW3rd is kickstarting now and you can come along! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Hey, I'm doing an AMA over on r/PbtA, if anybody's interested: www.reddit.com/r/PBtA/comme... I've answered a bunch of questions and a bunch more to go. If you want to read up or add to the pile, please come!
